Grounded Space

Mental Health Counseling

I’m Micah, a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York City, helping people build healthier relationships and navigate challenges like ADHD and executive functioning difficulties.

What I Do

At Grounded Space, I believe that being grounded means cultivating a sense of stability within yourself, no matter what life throws your way. My practice is dedicated to helping you develop the skills needed to navigate your inner world with compassion and self-understanding. At its core, therapy is about learning how to connect with your nervous system—and discovering ways to regulate it so you can respond to life’s challenges with greater ease.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Self-Awareness

    • Change begins with recognizing what isn’t working and accepting things as they are in this moment. From this foundation, we can begin the process of healing and rebuilding.

  • Structural and Emotional Regulation

    • This might mean building routines and structures that support you while learning how to stay accountable to yourself.

    • Or it could mean developing tools to help you regulate your emotions—especially if you never had the chance to learn these skills before.

  • Connection

    • We’ll explore ways to nurture meaningful relationships, helping you cultivate a social environment that feels supportive, fulfilling, and aligned with your needs.

I wonder if you can ever be at home anywhere, because home is not a place - it’s a state of mind. Really being at home is feeling at home in your own skin…Perhaps you have been searching for home in the wrong place all your life.

I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients across all life stages—children, adolescents, adults, and couples—each navigating unique challenges. My experience spans a broad range of concerns, including:

  • Trauma, severe mental illness, and complex attachment wounds

  • Substance use and recovery

  • Criminal justice involvement and re-entry

  • Structural instability

Through these experiences, I have cultivated a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy, helping clients build resilience and move toward healing.

FAQ

  • This depends on you! We can discuss what your goals are, and based on this our work might be more short term such as just a few months to learn some coping skills and reach stability, or we might work together for a year or more if you want to work on some deeper areas of yourself.
